God and I

Is there a God? Once, a young disciple, who had some confusion about God, asked his master about God’s existence. Instead of clearing his doubts, master plucked a rosebud from the garden and asked his disciple to open it without tearing off the petals.

Young disciple looked in disbelief at the master, thinking, after all, what a rosebud could possibly have to do with God. Still, as a mark of respect he had for the master, young disciple proceeded to try to unfold the rosebud without tearing its petals. But soon he realized that it was an impossible task. Looking at young disciple’s helplessness, the master began to recite the following poem:

 

“It is only a tiny rosebud, a flower of God’s design.

But I cannot unfold the petals with clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers is not known to such as I.

God opens this flower so easily but in my hands they die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud, this flower of God’s design,

then how can I have the wisdom to unfold this life of mine?

 

So, I will trust in God for leading each moment of my day.

I look to God for guidance in each step along the way.

The path that lies before me, only Lord and savior knows.

I will trust God to unfold the moments, just as He unfolds the Rose.”

 

Pray Through Good Deeds.

 

 Love

There are two things that pierce the human heart: Moments we wish would last forever. Moments we wish had never begun.  Today’s life is only for today. Enjoy every moment because even today’s newspaper will become tomorrow’s waste paper. Having a sharp memory is a good quality of the brain. But the ability to forget […]

Modern Commandments to Live By…

We need to reflect and understand the deeper meaning of these statements and follow them in our lives at all times. 1) A mistake that makes us humble is better than an achievement that makes us arrogant. 2) A blind person asked Swami Vivekananda: “Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?” He replied: “Yes, […]
